Police say a man used a steak knife to stab Trooper Rodney Smith in the neck and face after approaching him around 3:15 p.m. Sunday in the concourse of the state government complex. Police say the man told Smith he was new in town and didn't know anyone, then pulled a knife and attacked the trooper.

The man fled the scene on foot with Smith's radio, but the trooper was able to call for help using a cellphone.
